There is provided a sealed battery having excellent corrosion resistance and sealing performance. The sealed batteryincludes a battery jacket canhaving a bottom and being in a cylindrical or polyhedral shape. The battery jacket canalso serves as a collector of one of the electrodes. The battery jacket canhas an opening pointing upwards and accommodates active parts (and). The opening is sealed by a sealing partthat includes a flat metal sealing plate, a gasketmade of an insulator, and a terminal partof the other electrode. In the sealing part, the terminal part is attached to the sealing plateusing the gasket. The sealing plate has a planar shape that matches a shape of the opening of the battery jacket can. The sealing plate is in a saucer shape whose edge section is bent upwards. An upper end of the edge section of the sealing plate is laser-welded to an upper end of the battery jacket can while the sealing plate being inserted inside the opening of the battery jacket can. The battery jacket can is made of ferritic stainless steel to which Tin (Sn) is added.

There is provided non-aqueous organic electrolytic solution for a lithium primary battery which can be stored for long period at elevated temperatures or at the end stage of discharge. Non-aqueous organic electrolytic solutionfor lithium primary batteryhaving a cathode active material which is manganese dioxide and an anode active material which is either of lithium or lithium alloy includes a base electrolytic solution that is composed of organic solvent and supporting electrolyte and to which either one of hydroxyphthalimide or hydroxyphthalimide derivative is added as an additive. An amount of the additive which is added to the base electrolytic solution is 0.1 wt % or more and 5.0 wt % or less. It is more preferable that the amount of the additive which is added to the base electrolytic solution is 0.1 wt % or more and 1.0 wt % or less.
